    This morning I woke up in my Airbnb small apartment and going out I never had enough water for my coffee ..I need my coffee 

     

    So I took the water from the kitchen tap and booked it in the jug 

     

    I had my coffee .

    Now I'm thinking I shouldn't leave the Condo in case I get sick.

     

    Has anyone got any stomach disease from drinking the water here ?

    I only had one cup of hot coffee 

     

    I'm feeling a little sick come to think of it , I think the water may have parasites in it , I think they are now swimming around in my belly 

     

    Has anyone else drank the tap water ,I did boil it ,is there any scientists on here who can answer please !!

     

    Looks like I may have to head to the medical centre for  a blood test 

     

    What symptoms could I have ?

     

     

     

    Panic and Anxiety are sure signs followed by impudence.  :whistling:

    Never fear, the Democrats are here. They will utilize their abuse of the justice system any way that they see fit to attack Trumps policies. Thank goodness clearer heads are dismissing those cases in the courts. 

    But be sure, the Dems will not back down and will be filing another politically motivated justice case against Trump and his admin to make you forget they lost this one. 

    Oh, they all ready have:

    So the US and the West have for decades tried to engage with India and turn it into an ally, away from Russia and China. It's been really slow and hard work, but progress has been made.....and then Trump 2.0 happened, and in a matter of a couple of months the clown managed to frack up years of painstaking diplomacy.

    Well done, Americans, for electing a complete and utter muppet as your president, and for the second time. Un-fracking-believable.

     

    Trump is making US foes great again

    "President Donald Trump is mad that China is palling around with his strongmen friends.  If China’s two big gatherings of authoritarian leaders, US adversaries and erstwhile allies this week was intended as a personal affront to the US president, it worked perfectly. And it underscored the futility of his attempts to subject the true global hard men to his art-of-the-deal charms and his claims that his supposedly close relationships with such leaders can be decisive."

     

    Donald Trump; outplayed, outsmarted, out-anything.

     

     

    You would last 2 minutes in a debate with him. Swinging WAY above your weight class here sister. :cheesy:

    Three people have died in a shooting at a US primary school, including the shooter, and 20 have been injured.

     

    The Minneapolis city government said the shooter had been “contained” after gunfire at the Annunciation Catholic School, and there was no longer any “active threat” to residents.

    Police, ambulances, FBI and other federal agents were on the scene as a person answering the phone there said students were being evacuated.

     

    “There is no active threat to the community at this time. The shooter is contained,” the City of Minneapolis said on X.

     

    Three dead and 20 injured in US primary school mass shooting

     

    For God's sake Americans, just ban guns. It ain't that difficult. Most developed countries have strict gun laws. 

    The UK has a problem with knives, but not with guns which will kill or injure far more.

    After every incident where innocent people, including kids, are shot and killed, the usual high profile US public figures come out and announce they're praying for the victims. 

    Before they do that, ban the damn guns, if anything for Christ's sake.

    There has NEVER been a single gun convicted of committing a crime. :coffee1:

    US President Donald Trump has announced a bold move to rebrand the Pentagon as the 'Department of War'. The change, he claims, reflects a stronger message of readiness.

     

    The executive order, set to be signed on Friday, will direct the Department of Defense to adopt the name as a secondary title. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth will take on the new moniker of Secretary of War. The Pentagon, originally known as the War Department, was a cabinet-level agency from 1789 until its transformation in 1947.

     

    However, legally altering the name requires more than presidential orders. The establishment of executive departments is under the US Congress's purview, necessitating an amendment for any official name change. Trump remains confident that Congress would back this shift, citing America's past military victories under the original title.

     

    Trump's executive order highlights that the term 'Department of War' projects a more forceful image than 'Department of Defense', which he argues limits perception to defensive action. The BBC released excerpts from the order, emphasising this stance. Furthermore, both Trump and Hegseth have articulated a desire to shift the department's focus away from diversity and equity programs towards a stronger emphasis on military prowess and a "warrior ethos."

     

    Trump has often floated this rebranding idea, asserting that the US's remarkable history in global conflicts supports the move. He remains optimistic about legislative backing, expressing certainty that "Congress will go along if we need that."

     

    This potential rebranding signals a significant shift in messaging and emphasis within the US military establishment. With Trump and Hegseth's strong advocacy, the focus will be on enhancing warfighting capabilities. The success of this bid rests on navigating the legalities in Congress.

    Bought close to 1kg from Foo*Land and it's a grizzly loaded chewy mess.

     

    So nice place for good quality biff stew meat in Pattaya ?

     

    Makro ?

     

     

     

     

    Go to a Thai meat market. Round steak if you're going to cook it overnight in a crock pot or if you want it done for lunch by starting after breakfast then get back-strap or brisket cuts.

    Point is, don't buy it pre-cut and packaged since they use the lowest grade of meat for that. (hence the gristle) 🤠

    ps. the market people will cut it up for you if you ask.

    Revealing The Forgotten Science of Vaccine Disease Provocation

    image.png.336cf3fe21d1720763f6a66c74f0d385.png

    Sourcehttps://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/why-do-vaccines-cause-the-illnesses

     

    = = = 

    Story at a Glance:

    • Many people notice they appear to become ill with the disease they are being vaccinated against (e.g., the flu or COVID) after receiving a vaccine.

    • While this association is frequently ridiculed by medical profession, over a century of evidence exists that demonstrates it occurred for a variety of diseases (e.g., there is extensive literature on it for typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and polio), to the point it was previously termed “disease provocation.”

    • Unfortunately, since the knowledge of disease provocation would decrease vaccine sales, it tends to “vanish” from the medical profession’s memory, leading to almost identical debacles happening a few decades later that doctors at the time were “baffled by” (e.g., we discuss how this happened with polio).
    • Disease provocation appears to be due to the immune system being diverted to targeting the vaccine’s antigen rather than doing it’s natural job. Since we frequently depend upon the immune system to control latent infections or recent ones currently in the incubation stage, that immunological diversion can lead to an existing infection spiraling out of control.

    • In this article we review many examples of how this happened with infections in the past and highlight how this same process can cause vaccination to increase one’s risk of a severe flu infection, a severe COVID infection, a Lyme disease reactivation or a HPV infection progressing to cervical cancer.

    Vaccine mandates were put in place in the US as far back as George Washington days (originally called Inoculations) :

    Some uneducated, black politicians are trying to claim they were installed here to kill blacks whose ancestors were slaves, because of them being allowed into all white schools.

     

    Boggles the mind. :stoner:

    I have tried various Pork sausages here over the years, but I have never found one that floats my boat. Any suggestions? To shop in Pattaya or online. I used to like the Pork and Leek Sausages from Tesco 30 years ago.

    Thanks for your (hopefully) many fine suggestions.

    Try Maggie May's - They serve excellent food - They also will sell meat right out of their stock for you to take home for cooking later.

    Not sure if Tony still owns the place.

    Cook, an esteemed economist, has built a remarkable career with positions at Michigan State University and the Harvard Kennedy School. Her academic work delves into the economic barriers that African Americans face, focusing on how discrimination and targeted violence have hindered economic progress within black communities. Additionally, Cook has provided economic development and reform advice to nations like Nigeria and Rwanda

    She teach them how to commit fraud too? (it's rhetorical so stop straining) :coffee1:

    It's illegal to burn anything in national parks unless in designated areas. Lafayette Park is covered by this law. 

     

    This numbskull could have burnt smelly socks and still been arrested. Such a shame. 

    This is (or SHOULD be) a capital offense and he should have been shot in the face by everyone there.

    He would have gotten a beat down where I live. 🤠

    Salva Ukraine evict the invaders from your lands god bless you all.

    Seems he's going to make that possible in person. 

    He'd have more help if he'd quit acting like he controls NATO forces. Why attack a nuclear plant? The fallout would kill all the kids they want back. He should be hitting Crimea at the seaport to disrupt supply lines and hit the Russian ships down there.

    No more hidden surprises buried in Russia's backyard? 🤠
